Dean Herron, Aqua Enviro
Dean Herron of Aqua Enviro presents on developing methods for assessing the dewaterability of sludge from food waste digestion. Dewatering digestate on-site can reduce disposal volumes 5-fold. However, digestate from different sites varies depending on feedstocks and digester characteristics. Liquors produced also require treatment. Aqua Enviro's testing method involves optimizing dewatering performance based on factors like polymer dosage, feed solids percentage, and storage time. The goal is to derive operating conditions that match on-site processes. A full economic model is needed to evaluate feasibility of dewatering different sludges.
Aquaculture Engineering FINAL Poster
This document summarizes a project focused on improving tank hydrodynamics in aquaculture and aquaponics systems through the design of vertical manifolds. It discusses how optimizing flow patterns can maximize a tank's self-cleaning ability and improve water quality. The initial trout tank system at the University of New England Marine Science Center faced challenges from high biomass that overwhelmed the filtration. Prototyping vertical manifolds based on the Cornell dual-drain design aims to create uniform circular flow for better solids collection. Future applications include incorporating the design into a new recirculating system and aquaponics pilot system to further optimize nutrient cycling between fish and plants.
Poultry Housing And Manure Management Systems
This document summarizes recent research on poultry housing and manure management systems in Italy focused on reducing ammonia emissions. It discusses studies on (1) broiler housing where adding bowls to nipple drinkers reduced ammonia emissions, (2) laying hen batteries where manure drying systems had lower ammonia emissions than traditional systems, and (3) alternative cage-free systems for laying hens which found higher ammonia emissions from housing adult hens compared to pullets. The research aims to improve environmental impacts and manure handling through housing system design.

Adding alum to animal manures greatly reduces ammonia (NH3) emissions and phosphorus (P) runoff. Improvements in poultry production, lower energy costs and environmental benefits from alum have led to widespread use by the poultry industry. Over one billion broilers are grown with alum in the U.S. each year. However, the price of alum has increased dramatically, creating a need for cheaper products that control NH3 and P losses. The goal of this research was to develop an inexpensive manure amendment that is as effective as alum in reducing NH3 volatilization and P runoff from poultry litter. Sixteen manure amendments were created using various ratios of alum mud, bauxite ore, sulfuric acid, liquid alum and water. Alum mud is the waste product that is left over from the manufacture of alum when made by mixing sulfuric acid with bauxite. A laboratory NH3 volatilization study was conducted using a total of 11 treatments; untreated poultry litter, litter treated with liquid or dry alum and litter treated with eight of the new mixtures. All amendments tested resulted in significantly lower NH3 losses than the controls. Ammonia losses with dry and liquid alum were reduced by 86% and 75%, respectively. Ammonia losses with the eight new amendments ranged from 62 to 73% less than controls and were not significantly different from liquid alum and the three most effective mixtures were not significantly different from dry alum. All of the amendments also significantly reduced water extractable P (WEP); three of which resulted in significantly lower WEP than with dry alum. The most promising products were mixtures of alum mud, bauxite, and sulfuric acid. The potential impact of these products could be enormous, since they could be produced for less than half the price of alum, while being equally effective at reducing both NH3 emissions and P runoff.

This document summarizes research on developing an ammonia scrubber system for poultry and swine facilities that uses acid-tolerant nitrifying bacteria to generate the acid needed to capture ammonia. Key points:
1) The researcher developed acid-tolerant nitrifying bacteria that can generate acid via nitrification at low pH levels.
2) This bacteria was used to inoculate an ammonia scrubber, which successfully captured ammonia using the acid produced by the bacteria.
3) However, the bacteria only thrive at warm temperatures, so further research is needed to develop strains that can also tolerate colder conditions to make the system practical year-round.

Proceedings available at: http://www.extension.org/67663
Recent research has shown that over half of nitrogen excreted by chickens is lost into the atmosphere via ammonia volatilization before the litter is removed from poultry houses. Large quantities of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are also emitted from animal rearing facilities. During the past decade we have developed and patented an acid scrubber for capturing ammonia, VOCs and dust from air exhausted from poultry and swine barns. The objectives of this project were; (1) to re-design the scrubber to improve the ammonia removal efficacy, (2) conduct full-scale testing of the scrubber under controlled conditions at various ventilation rates, (3) evaluate the cost, practicality and efficacy of various acids for scrubbing ammonia, and (4) install scrubbers on exhaust fans of poultry houses located in Virginia and Arkansas and measure the efficiency of ammonia removal from the exhaust air. The efficiency of ammonia removal by the scrubber varied from 55-95%, depending on the type of acid used, air flow rate, and the internal scrubber configuration. This technology could potentially result in the capture of a large fraction of the N lost from AFOs, while simultaneously reducing emissions of bacteria, dust, and odors, which would improve the social, economic, and environmental sustainability of poultry and swine production.

It then provides an overview of the fertilizer industry, describing it as capital and energy intensive. The document outlines organic and inorganic fertilizer production processes. It discusses the various wastes produced during fertilizer production, including effluents from different plant types. The pollution impacts of the fertilizer industry are also examined. The document concludes that nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers can cause environmental pollution if wastes are not properly treated.
Poultry and Ammonia
The production of chickens has shifted from free-range farming to confined indoor factory production since the 1930s. Modern broiler houses hold tens of thousands of chickens and control lighting, temperature, and automated feeding to maximize growth. A major issue is the accumulation of ammonia-rich chicken manure on the floors, which can harm chickens' health. Litter materials like wood shavings are used to absorb moisture and slow ammonia production from uric acid in droppings, but ammonia levels still often exceed thresholds that impact chickens. Chemical litter treatments were developed in the 1990s to temporarily reduce ammonia, though their effectiveness depends on various management factors, and there is no single best treatment.

http://www.extension.org/67575 In 2011, the production rate of broilers was 8.6 billion with a value of $23.2 billion (USDA 2012). Both CERCLA and EPCRA have reporting requirements for ammonia (NH3) of 100 lb of NH3/d or 18.3 tons/yr, a level that may affect large animal production facilities (NRC 2003). Although USEPA (2009) has provided an exemption for animal waste producing farms under CERCLA for reporting hazardous air emissions, it is expected that this exemption will be revoked once valid methodologies are established for monitoring. Two of the 24 sites in the NAEMS monitoring study reported similar NH3 emissions of 3.6 – 5.3 tons of NH3 per house per year (Burns et al. 2009, Heber 2010). Emissions of this level indicate a need for developing technologies that can reduce the NH3 levels produced by broiler operations. This research is focused on the use of broiler litter as activated carbon (BAC) to reduce aerial NH3 generated by litter, an opportunity to not only reuse the manure, but also treat the emissions from or within broiler houses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of BAC to remove NH3 volatilized from litter samples in a laboratory acid-trap system. Preliminary studies using NH3/air mixture indicated that the BAC capacity to adsorb NH3 was approximately double that of Vapure 612, a commercial carbon. In the litter emission study, the BAC and Vapure performance was comparable. Breakthrough for both carbons occurred within 14 hours of the test start. At the end of the 3 day test, the NH3 emission for BAC was 75% of the litter only control, whereas, the Vapure emission was 64% of the control. The results of the study demonstrate the potential for a cyclical waste utilization strategy in using broiler litter activated carbon to capture NH3 volatilized from litter.

Most AD plants in 2013 spread digestate straight to land without separating it first. A survey found digestate management cost the average plant -£3.73/tonne, totaling an estimated £7.9 million cost to the industry. As AD capacity increases, the amount of digestate produced is also growing rapidly at a time when key support mechanisms for the industry like feed-in tariffs are decreasing. There is potential to increase the value of digestate fiber from £5/tonne as fertilizer to £100/tonne by using it as a horticultural growing medium.

Ann Ballinger from Eunomia Research & Consulting presented the results of a cost benefit analysis of different options for managing digestate from anaerobic digestion in Wales. The analysis considered eight options including applying whole digestate to agricultural land, dilution to different dry solid percentages, various treatment processes, and transport distances. The results showed that applying whole digestate to land was the best option environmentally but that financial costs increased with additional processing. Dilution to 20% dry solids with 80km transport had the lowest overall costs. Biological oxidation of liquor followed by discharge to watercourses was also competitive. Longer transport distances favored treatment before land application.

The document discusses the challenges with using digestate as a fertilizer. It notes that the inherent fertilizer value of digestate is modest, especially in the autumn, but that digestate can be more valuable than just the sum of its nutrients. However, waste-derived digestates are difficult to upgrade to increase their value. While digestate has some nutrient value as a fertilizer, this value is usually not enough to cover the costs of recovering and processing the digestate. Operators may need to upgrade digestate to guarantee having a market for it.

There are frequent accidents at anaerobic digestion plants during construction and operation due to gas explosions and exposure to toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. Many of these accidents are preventable through proper risk mitigation measures. During construction, risks can be reduced through adherence to the Construction Design and Management regulations, which require principal designers and careful attention to interfaces between equipment. During operation, permanent gas monitoring, confined space procedures, training, and permit-to-work programs can help protect workers from gas exposure. Incident reports show common risks involve maintenance activities, mixing of feedstocks, and overloading of digesters leading to gas release.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
